We left Siam Reap yesterday and got the bus back to Phnom Penh. Sugar, our tuk tuk driver had told us he booked us the best seats on the bus, so there we were right up the front underneath the telly playing very loud Cambodian pop videos! The front of the bus was infested with mozzies, the driver kept leaving the door open so they were all coming in to the cooler air so we entertained ourselves killing them for a few hours. We also had a birds eye view of the road which in this situation was ...

This is our last day in Phnom Penh, we are just about to leave for the airport now. Yesterday we spent the day shopping and hanging around the place - really easy to do in Phnom Penh there are so many cafes and nice places for food. We had a really nice dinner at a Khmer restaurant down by the river and then we went for a few drinks, and on to Heart of Darkness, which is a popular nightclub in PP. Well it was mad in there Solenn got propositioned by a total sex pest and then he turned his att...

After saying goodbye to some of our tour group the remaining 5 of us plus our tour leader set off for the drive to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. I loved the drive. It was long, but I spent the time gazing out of the window, watching the world go by. Seeing amazing sights. The land becomes greener and more lush as you head towards the capital. Lots of water, many water buffalo, and ducks everywhere. We stopped at one place for a drink and saw baskets of fried tarantulas. The other day I...

Yesterday morning we visited the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, in which is housed the Emerald Buddha (the second one, the other one being Bangkok which I've also visited a few times). I much preferred this Wat to the one in Bangkok - there was a greater sense of symmetry and more space about the whole area, whereas in Bangkok the buildings are so ornate and are placed one on top of the other. You do not get the chance to stand back and admire any of them. However here in Phnom Penh there wa...

As we boarded our bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Phen, I noticed vendors selling purified water, fruit and snacks. I thought I would get some kind of snack for the ride. As I looked at the offerings, I realized the woman had a big plate of fried Grasshoppers. "Think of them as chips" I said to myself. Then, on second thought, I decided I would look for an alternative. The next basket was full of fried Black Spider- like insects the size of Trantulas. That pretty well ripped it for me. I thought ...

Arriving here has been a nightmare. The boarder crossing was a complete scam! The alarm is sounding and Weeble and Bob are not in the mood for an early morning packing session. Clothes still soaking from washing them the day before, and the torrential downpour meant the clothes would travel as they were. Inside a black bag in Weebles already full rucksack. Bob dashed downstairs to pay the bill while Weeble jumped up and down on the rucksack trying to compress everything. Weeble then lauched d...

... just leaving the guts on the floor, building up..<br>Then we head up to the central market which is just as interesting - and it looks like you can buy anything from the meat section. Anything. We also check out the Cambodian version of a western mall next door which is freezing (air-con) but still dirt cheap with DVDs going from legit stores at 2USD.<br>As we're heading down to South Cambodia tomorrow we catch an early night before saying goodbye to Phnom Penh.<br>

... sun, tall plants and flowers offer privacy to those who wish to relax, and shallow ponds covered in floating flowers provide a home to the sweetest sounding frogs (I can hear them chatting, but can't find them)! Asia and I took advantage of this beautiful outdoor paradise and sat at tables under a bamboo terrace reading, writing and listening to the distant sounds of thunder.<br><br>The other part ...

... Mr Sam, a gay beef salesman & an old lady who dances when you poke her in the ribs. Hilarious. Another night, Sam invited us for a drink with his friends. Dean and i ended up drinking 21 [pitchers with 9 tuk tuk drivers in a khmer restaurant. We had a brilliant night. <br><br>The gaps in this are filled with drunken nights out, and eating lots of local cuisine. Chili happened to own the aptly named Chili Bar so we also spent a fair few hours drinking here ...

... Looking at the LP map I’m amazed, we have the TON LE SAP river in front of us and merging in from the right is the MEKONG. There are a few junks going up and down but not many, its mainly boats taking tourists on trips. On the waterfront itself stalls are setting up for evening meals… <br><br>We need to get onto the internet and look at hotels for HCMC and PHU QUOC, and I think we need to do it now! Although at the moment I really can’t be bothered moving I’m ...
